What fantasy drug would you do, and why?

[Podunk]

There are all kinds of crazy substances in the games we love to play. Which(if any) would you take yourself if it were a real-life option?


Me I would go straight for the Mentats, from the Fallout series. +5 Intelligence and +5 Perception means I'd be able to work smarter and get more done, and I probably wouldn't even need glasses anymore! The whole addiction thing would be a small price to pay for pills that turn you into a genius.

 

[Ando85]

I'd go for some of the hallucinogenic plants on Elder Scroll IV expansion Shivering Isles.

 

[Rylot]

Red Eye. It'd be fun to be crazy fast and be virtually untouchable. Granted spraying it in your eye seems painful. (Okay, it isn't from a game, but what ever)

 

[Orbot_Vectorman]

One word, Skooma!

Two words, More Skooma!

Three Words, NEED MORE SKOOMA!......

I'm better now.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Skooma.

Delicious Skooma. Or Moon Sand.

 

[Strain42]

Swank, 1000 times more addictive that Marijuana

 

[Avaholic03]

I think Stims could probably keep me awake and productive all day at work. Just gotta hope I come across a medivac on the commute home

 

[Zakarath]

Melange (from Dune). Its awesome as long as you don't run out

(I'd choose one from a game but none of the drugs in games are quite as cool.)

 

[penguindude42]

Saturn Coffee, from Earthbound.

That counts, right?

It's exposition in a cup.

[strum4h]

That one in a scanner darkly because it had no side affects. Also I want a scrambler suit.

 

[Lood NL]

Obviously Adam and Eve from the Bioshock series. It has huge side effects if you overuse them, but at least you'll be able to shoot fire, ice, telekinesis and even bees from your hands ( not to mention the possibillities of the Hypnosis plasmid...).

 

[Pheonixe]

Prisoner's Honey from Echo Bazaar.

Being physically transported to the world of dreams of myself and others, and not only that, but being able to pull Inception-esque information gathering using such? Sounds like a good time to me.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Do plasmids from Bioshock count?

*Ding!*

 

[lonely tylenol]

Mine's not from a game, it's from a movie, but still it's pretty fictional (I think):

NZT-48 from Limitless
Pretty much explained there.

 

[kyogen]

Final Fantasy healing potions

 

[Cheesus333]

Buffout (Fallout 3/New Vegas)

60 extra HP AND buff to Strength? I got addicted to that shit IRL!

 

[Continuity]

Mentats.

Needs moar brains dammnit.

 

[wolas3214]

jet seems like barrels of fun

 

[Latinidiot]

Mentats.

Needs moar brains dammnit.

Here you are, brains the size of a planet, and all you want is more brain...

 

[Podunk]

Prisoner's Honey from Echo Bazaar.

Being physically transported to the world of dreams of myself and others, and not only that, but being able to pull Inception-esque information gathering using such? Sounds like a good time to me.

Prisoner's honey does seem pretty cool, but it seems like it would take a while to be able to control the dreams and make them not suck. At least, I failed an annoying number of times in EB when I played around with it.
